President Obama directed the hiring of large numbers of new employees in the justice dept. who were loyal to him, just before leaving office knowing President Trump could not remove them because they were under civil service. By selecting them on the basis of party affiliation, he was in violation of civil service rules that require all hiring be done on merit rather than on party affiliation. Many of them were used to investigate President Trump and others in his cabinet throughout his presidency in spite of a lack of evidence of wrong-doing, for the purpose of finding something they could exploit for political gain and to turn his voter base against him preventing him from being reelected. When President Trump tried to remove the heads of several agencies who did not agree with his policies, the liberals yelled that he was doing it for political purposes. He was prevented from removing several of them who continued to act in direct defiance of his directives. It was obviously to discredit him and was done to deceive the voters into thinking he was doing something wrong, even though the President appoints them and would normally appoint people who will work with him, not against him. Congress enacts laws and the agencies are the ones that carry them out. The agency heads are the ones that direct the day to day operations of the agencies and design the rules and regulations that form the operating format for the laws enacted by Congress. Therefore, it is important for the President to appoint agency heads that will carry out the policies the people have elected him to carry out. When the people elect a President, they are saying that they agree with his policies and so the people who head the various agencies should agree with him or they will be carrying out policies that go against his policies and as a result, go against the will of the people. The people would not have voted out the previous President if they wanted his policies to continue. When the President is prevented from appointing the agency heads, it allows the deep-state in the agencies to operate without any oversight by the people elected by the voters. Now President Biden is doubling the number of agents in the IRS. They will be under civil service and can’t be removed by the next President. This is very disturbing in view of the IRS actions in 2016 when the IRS investigated conservate organizations and threatened to remove tax exempt status from churches who questioned liberal policies. They also held up the tax exempt status of conservative organizations who applied.
